Leslie Norris says that the tiger in the cage of a zoo is just a diminished form of his original self; while the tiger in his natural habitat (wild) is majestic. Here in the cage he is confined in the narrow cell and keeps staring at the stars as if longing for freedom. He paces up and down in the cage restlessly being helpless.
